Chamber Blues is dedicated to Seiji Ozawa and his family, who offered me this art form, and made all this possible. I owe them a great deal. Chamber Blues is also dedicated to the memory of my dear friend William Russo whose advice and support have been a great help to me over the years. And of course Chamber Blues is dedicated to all the great blues masters like Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Sam Lay who have always been an inspiration and a support.
